the nsx is officially OWNED

the 2004 zo6 has a top speed of 180 mph compared to the older zo6 which had a top speed of 171. how is the nsx owned you ask , the nsx has a top speed of 175 and last time i checked does a14 second 1/4 compared to the 12 seconds of the zo6.

lets compare


zo6 mpg - 19/28
nsx mpg - 17/24

zo6 hp - 405 @ 6000rpm
nsx hp - 290 @ 7100rpm

zo6 Torque - 400 @ 4800rpm
nsx Torque - 224@5500rpm

zo6 weight - 3118 lbs
nsx weight - 3153 lbs

zo6 Tire Size - P295/35ZR18
nsx Tire Size - P255/40ZR17

zo6 msrp - $51,295
nsx msrp - $89,000

no im not trying to diss the nsx i love the car but it's in need of a v8/v10 and a price drop. i also have another question why did acura try to make the nsx look like it was a exotic yea it looks pimp but the perfromance is not cutting it.

zo6 is a very nice car, I probably take that over an NSX too, but it would be cool to ride around in a NSX

I thought the NSX was a 13 second car stock .........

Let's not forget NSX came out in 1992. Back in the days, it was really cheap too. And yes, it did spank the C4 Corvette at the time. With a 3.0L V6, might I add.

It's now 2003. Price has nearly trippled. Performance marginally increased.

NSX isn't a for sale car, really. Honda has no plans but to sell a handful per year.

I like all cars, whether domestic or import, but even I think a statement like "NSX is 0wned" is a little presumptuous.

Perhaps you should amend the thread's title to "NSX is 0wned in the 1/4 mile".

92 vette - 375 hp
92 nsx - 270 hp

so no it did not own the 92 vette in the twisties yes but even back then it was owned.

and now the c5 has world class handling that competes with the m3 and 911's

why are you comparing a NSX to a ZO6? NSX could own a ZO6 at autoX and vise versa with drag racing.

Slow down are we actually comparing a Corvette to an Acura

1st of all the NSX has always been considered "The 1st Japanese Exotic" with Emphasis on "Exotic"

The ZO6 Chevrolet Corvette (there now that did'nt hurt a bit) is a Classic American Muscle Car in all of it's forms. Let's see 1953 I believe?

The improvements made to the 'vette over the last few years truly do show hope for American Muscle Cars (New Mustangs are Kinda Funky) if you caught the Car & Driver where they drove quite a few impressive autos ( I can't remember it all off-hand, I'm sure we could find it). the Z06 trully did hand them ALL their asses!

NSX=EXOTIC
Z06=AMERICAN'

Next question!

I'm not going to explain. I'm just going to refer you to my comments in the PRIOR "NSX is too slow" thread that you created.

Honestly - this is like the umpteenth thread you've created that disses the NSX. I think we get the picture by now - you like the Z06 better than the NSX. lease:

i believe half of the sports cars currently available owns the nsx

the price for the care doesn't help either

it's honda's own fault of not improving the car over the 10 years of it's life, it WAS a good car, back when it was first introduced. now it's a "old man" compare to all the other cars. let's see what the new nsx replacment looks like...

i do hope the nsx price goes downa fter the new successor is released, because midship rocks!

ofcourse, in autox or drag, i have my money n the z06

Yeah, Honda should have kept improving the NSX. Though I do wonder how a track race between an NSX-R and Z06 wuold be. Both great cars.... but 1 is exotic. Z06 is definately a hot hot car for the price. However, there are a few things that should be looked upon, like the fact that the NSX is HAND BUILT! I'm sure some of you will feel "bah, whats that gotta do with speed", well I think it's a matter of respect.
